        Hold down the Command key (or Cloverleaf or Propellor, or whatever
*you* like to call it) as well, and you get a cute little smiley cursor
with it's tongue sticking out.  Until you press the mouse button that is!

        I'm beginning to wonder how much time Apple engineers spend
exercising their senses of humour by implementing little "features" such as
these.  Not that I mind at all ...
